UI/UX Design and Design System

UI/UX design and design systems improve the consistency, efficiency, and user experience of digital interfaces. With Figma, prototyping, and modular UI components, companies accelerate development while enhancing user satisfaction.

In today’s digital economy, every interaction with an app or website directly shapes a brand’s perception. A poorly designed interface can lead to user loss, while a smooth, intuitive experience strengthens engagement and loyalty. UI/UX design and design systems play a decisive role in ensuring this consistency and optimizing the overall experience.

Thanks to collaborative tools like Figma, advanced prototyping, and modular UI Components, companies can create interfaces that are faster to develop, easier to maintain, and truly aligned with their users’ real needs. These approaches are often packaged into an open‑source service, promoting transparency, collaboration, and continuous innovation.

 

What Is UI/UX Design and a Design System?

Understanding UX and UI

UX design (User Experience) aims to optimise how a user interacts with a product by improving navigation, understanding, and overall satisfaction. It includes:

  • Information architecture : logical structuring of menus and content.

  • User flows : optimized sequences to accomplish tasks.

  • Usability testing : identifying friction points and refining interfaces.
     

UI design (User Interface) focuses on the visual aspect:

  • Graphic components (buttons, form fields, icons).

  • Color palettes and typography.
     

  • Animations and micro‑interactions that guide the user.

The combination UX + UI enables the creation of interfaces that are intuitive, aesthetic, and high‑performing.

What Is a Design System?

A design system is a structured collection of UI Components, styles, and rules that ensure consistency and scalability.

Technical advantages of a design system:

  1. Component reusability
    Buttons, form fields, and menus are standardized to guarantee uniformity across all platforms.

  2. Centralised documentation
    Style guides, code snippets, and graphic libraries are accessible to all teams, easing collaboration and onboarding of new developers.

  3. Versioning and scalability
    Changes made to UI Components in the system automatically propagate to every instance used in projects.

  4. Support for rapid prototyping
    With Figma, interactive prototypes can be generated from standardized components, allowing testing and iteration before development.

Importance for Companies

In a context where user experience is a key differentiator, investing in UI/UX design and design systems allows companies to:

  • Reduce development costs by avoiding component duplication.

  • Accelerate production cycles and updates.

  • Improve customer satisfaction and conversion rates.

  • Ensure compliance with accessibility standards (WCAG) and ergonomic best practices.

These practices are especially strategic for any open‑source company that wants to build flexible, collaborative digital products.

 

Main Benefits of UI/UX Design and Design Systems

Consistency and Efficiency

One of the primary benefits of a design system is consistency. Every UI Component is crafted to be reusable across all platforms:

  • Buttons and form fields with normalised active, hover, and disabled states.

  • Icons and illustrations harmonised with the visual identity.
     

  • Uniform fonts and colours for every screen and device.

This homogeneity strengthens brand image and user trust.

Flexibility and Scalability

With a design system, you can prototype new features quickly. Teams can:

  • Test multiple UI variants using Figma.

  • Apply global modifications to UI Components to adjust the entire application.
     
  • Add new modular components without breaking existing ones.

Facilitated Collaboration

Collaborative tools like Figma let designers and developers work in real time:

  • Changes are instantly visible to all team members.

  • Comments and suggestions are centralised within the project.

  • Versioning ensures every modification is tracked and documented.

Optimised User Experience

A well‑thought‑out UX ensures:

  • Smooth, intuitive navigation.

  • Reduction of friction in user journeys.
     
  • Improved conversion and retention rates.
